I know what I'm doing for Halloween this year now. :)

[dwayne1115]

yep that looks awesome!

[Drtooth]

Actually, the Fozzie one is the only one I like. Something about the Kermit one seems wrong, and I hate where the eye holes are on Gonzo... and Animal is kinda cool, I guess (though they perpetuate the old standard of making his head a fuzzy pink lolipop).

The Piggy one is actually sort of cool... only relying on a snout a wig and a dress.

[dwayne1115]

I know what you mean about the eye holes. My wife was going to dress up as Piggy but she thinks that since It's just a wig with ears whats the point. I think that Gonzo looks really kind of bad, but i might get Kermit.

[Nick22]

i only like fozzie. the other ones look weird.

[BobThePizzaBoy]

They also have some SST costumes as well

The Oscar one is pretty well-done but $85 is an insane price. Cookie and Elmo are kind of "meh" but I could still see using them as a costume. The Ernie and Bert costumes, well.. the clothing is okay but the masks are creepy.

[frogboy4]

Costumes are usually fairly steep. I like Oscar one. It's clearly the best. The Bert and Ernie ones are fairly good too. Cookie and Elmo seem factory standard without much love, but okay.

I posted about the Muppet ones a while back. I got to see the actual catalog. The Miss Piggy one is that cheesy type of costume girls wear to look sexy, but it really is just dressing like a stripper. The gloves aren't even nearly correct. Just an all-around fail from me.

None of the Muppet Show costumes are that attractive to me, but it's good to see the characters making the rounds in this popular medium. Fozzie's the best, but I hope the swap the black pants for orange ones. The rubber masks are strange and should look better. Fozzie's is the closest. Kermit is okay, but why not a nekkid version? Animal is okay. He's hairy so he's a difficult sculpt. They really tried with this one. Gonzo, well. He just looks ugly. I'd rather had fuzzy Oscar-like translations if the likenesses were going to be this poor. Fuzzy costumes just seem more comforatble.

Still, this isn't for me becuase I don't do costumes so it's hard for me to judge. It's nice to see the Muppets around.

Someone forgot to tell them hoods are for 5 year olds. Man... what ever happened to masks. Everything is so safe and sterile now... no wonder kids grow out of things at obscenely young ages.

Unless it's hot. :insatiable:

Is that towards me or the costume makers? :concern: I like the costumes for what they are but the Ernie and Bert masks are just weird.

[Drtooth]

The costume makers. I hate Halloween Hoods. Always have. I my day you wore a crappy plastic molded mask and YOU LIKED IT. Now everything is so safe and sanitized.... it's not fun anymore. And you just know someone's gonna ruin the Halloween candy aspect too.

Think about it... dressing up in your Halloween Hoods to get healthy snacks. God, parental groups ruin EVERYTHING.

I just find it terrible that they had to put them on adult costumes. I mean, we're old enough to know not to wear masks while crossing the street.

[a_Mickey_Muppet]

hahaha oh my gosh I love em :)

[Vic Romano]

Awesome. I am totally getting the Kermit one. I was planning as going as the Comedian from Watchmen, but he just can't compete with this!

[Dearth]

I looked at those the other day. I dislike how the costumes come with a cheaper half-mask version of the character. So, if you wanted a really good Kermit costume, you'd be out almost a hundred bucks for the costume and the better full-head mask.

Makes me wonder how much green material and ping-pong balls one could buy for a hundred bucks.

My favorite Halloween costumes were always the ones we made rather than bought. Like the year my Dad made me a Rubik's Cube costume from a cardboard box, construction paper, and electrical tape.

:scary: Hmmm... I wonder if my nephew's tuxedo would fit me? I think I have an idea how to make a Kermit mask, and the hands and feet shouldn't be that hard...

[muppet baby]

yep the fozzie one is the best one LOL i love Miss Piggy but that one is werid , i mean just having snout haha One thing though about the Miss piggy costume that i think though is cute that is the dress that was a good match for a costume i mean it actually looks like a costume that she had .

They did a bad job on the face and head gear part .

[Muppet dude]

WooT! I always love it when they make Halloween rubber masks and costumes of characters like that!

But now on to my judging...

The Kermit the Frog adult costume is pretty interesting, I have to admit. It does stink that it doesn't come with the feet and that the mask only covers the front of your face; if it weren't for those details, it would seem more like a mascot costume!
The stand-alone Kermit mask, though, looks fairly decent. It kinda reminds me of the early 1970s Kermit, and though it looks better than the version offered with the full costume, it still does look a tad odd.

The Gonzo costume... well, the body is cute, making our favorite blue-haired weirdo a "super weirdo," but the mask doesn't look that great with its dead-pan expression, almost resembling a cheap plastic Gonzo mask from the 1980s.
The full-head mask does look a little more pleasant, making Gonzo smile, but it still is a little strange, mostly due to the skinny nose and the weird placement of the eyeholes.

As for the Miss Piggy costume, it looks good, but I do wish that it included the wig and a pig snout. I think wearing that costume as in the picture with a pig snout would make a big difference.
The mask, however, looks pretty good. It even uses real "hair" instead of rubber hair.

The Statler and Waldorf masks look pretty convincing.

The Animal costume looks AWESOME! I mean, the mask could be better if it covered the whole head, but look. You get the chain, the spiked collar and the drumsticks too. A real deal!
The mask of Animal looks pretty cool too.

The Fozzie Bear costume looks nice and fuzzy, but the mask is rather off-putting.
However, the stand-alone latex Fozzie mask looks awesome! Maybe I'll get it some time.


Too bad I already planned to be Big Bad Wolf Daddy this Halloween...

(I already have the latex mask and the paws and watch chain; I just need the perfect yellow zoot suit, hat and footpaws.)
But who knows? Maybe next year or some time in the future, I can be Fozzie Bear!

Now, I'm still hoping one of those costume companies will make a deluxe full-head latex Scooby-Doo mask, like the one featured in the episode "Never Ape an Ape Man" :D

[BobbyRobby]

i don't really care for store bought costumes.

this is a fraggle costume i made myself for halloween two years ago.

[muppets2]

i think they should just have one big line of muppet costumes
:):o:halo:

[BobThePizzaBoy]

Well, the Miss Piggy costume is here. It's much better than what we saw before, but not by much:

[Fluffets]

Kermit is and always will be the best of em all, but it would be a nice touch if they made him without the tux, just plain green and with the collar.

[Nekoshema]

lol, wow, animal looks interesting, fozzie does too. the mrs. piggie one is strange. i wouldn't buy them, just because i've made my costumes since i was... well, 3... but that has given me an idea for this year ;)

[Gelfling Girl]

that has given me an idea for this year ;)
Yeah, that would be cool to dress up as something Muppety this year. Maybe Janice. :flirt: I wonder what everybody else would think I'm dressed up as, because one year, I dressed up as Hannah Montana, and everybody thought I was Britney Spears. :o

[Nekoshema]

one year, I dressed up as Hannah Montana, and everybody thought I was Britney Spears. :o

lol, wow, way to get things confused ;) oh well, for the past, like, five years, i've had to explain my costumes to people at the door... mostly becuase last two years i was River Phoenix, before that i was a japanese demon known as an Oni. hee, oh well, maybe i'll dress like a muppet, see how many parent's to children will know what i am ;)

[Vic Romano]

Gah! When's the Kermit costume going to be available, for crying out loud?

[theprawncracker]

Gah! When's the Kermit costume going to be available, for crying out loud?
Calm yourself, young one. It takes awhile to make a costume out of actual Kermit puppets. :scary:

...That IS how they're making these costumes right? :coy:

Indeed. The woman does dress like it's Halloween every day... :attitude:

[Nick22]

Indeed. The woman does dress like it's Halloween every day... :attitude:

she is CRAZY. CRAZY.

[Vic Romano]

Just dance... it'll be okay.

[theprawncracker]

Gonzo: That's my kinda woman! Ha ha!
Camilla: BraGAWK!
Gonzo: Oh, no hard feelings honey.

*ponders* I wonder if my girlfriend would dress as Camilla this Halloween if I went as Gonzo... :concern:


Just dance... it'll be okay.

*laughs!* You have no idea how much I needed that. :insatiable:

[Fluffets]

Gonzo: That's my kinda woman! Ha ha!
Camilla: BraGAWK!

I just hope we get some pics of that, if the idea works out.....:D

Oh man, that's such an awesome idea Prawnie! I think you should do it! The question is, does SHE like Muppets?

I have always wanted to dress up as Red Fraggle. Maybe I could get my husband to be Gobo...lol.

I love that costume so much really cool it really looks the fraggles sooooooooooo cool .

[Gelfling Girl]

Hmm...still not sure what I'll dress up as this year. Maybe Kira from Dark Crystal, or Janice, or maybe even Beaker. Then again, if I dressed up as Kira or Janice, the blond wig might instantly make people think of me as Britney Spears, like with the Hannah Montana costume. :eek:

[theprawncracker]

Just found these online... These look better than the ones for adults!

[muppets2]

[Fluffets]

wow they do look better than the ones for adult:D

Yeah but they don't have masks and gloves.:p

[muppets2]

good point

[Fluffets]

good point

Apart from that I'd agree they look great, especially since its just a bare kermit, not a tuxedo-clad kermit.:):):)

[muppets2]

yea the tux is finally gone:):):D

[muppets2]

does anyone no why they were using the tux on kermit so many times?:)

[Fluffets]

does anyone no why they were using the tux on kermit so many times?:)

Must be cheaper probably, there's nothing wrong with it but technically your not getting a proper normal "Kermit the frog" costume mainly because you don't get the frill/colar etc, its an "ok" costume though.:)

[muppets2]

yea it's ok but i prefer the collar:)

[APRena]

I think this is a thread for "professional" bought costumes, but one of my favorite Muppet memories is from the Hallowen when I was 5. My mom "made" me a Miss Piggy costume out of some sort of fancyish looking dress, costume jewlery and purple gloves. Oh, and makeup. A lot. She had fun with that, I looked like a drag queen, not like Miss Piggy, but I didn't care. She taught me "Miss Piggy French" (sticking a couple french words into an English sentence.) and that's who I was. It wasn't particularly good, but it was fun and awesome!

(I still call it "Miss Piggy French" when someone just replaces the English translation with MOI or VOUS or any common French word.)

The Kermit costume (http://www.80stees.com/products/Kermit-The-Frog-Muppets-Costume.asp) from 80s Tees finally became available today, but they're nothing like the previously posted prototypes and these really suck hard. I was willing to hand over my fifty bucks for one, but they look awful, and now I'm not.

[Borkborkchef]

About a month ago I was hanging out with some friends and we decided to watch the great muppet caper. After the movie was over conversation resumed and before we knew it we were hashing out the details for a muppet bar crawl on Halloween. Complete with party bus, t-shirts, wrist bands, and some pub sponsorship. I am begining to feel a little overwhelmed now that most of the admin work is completed I really need a kick a$ costume. I have been brainstorming a sweedsh chef costume that includes a realistic looking head piece that would be oversized enough for me to look out of the chef's mouth. If anyone has an idea, experience, or even a costume for sale I would almost definately buy it!

Thanks for your time,
Marc

Thanks for the link! I've seen the Muppet costumes before, but I had never seen the FABULOUS Waldorf and Statler masks until I checked out this site. Those are must-haves, and I now have a costume plan for this Halloween! Awesome! :boo:
